In a provocative editorial, Terry Glavin defends the ongoing military operations against the Islamic regime in Iran, labeling them as necessary and justified actions aimed at dismantling a regime he considers both criminal and oppressive. He contends that those who criticize these operations on the basis of international law are masking their moral failures and unwillingness to confront the realities of the situation in Iran. The author emphasizes that the modern threats posed by the regime to its own population and the broader international community warrant a robust response from the U.S. and its allies.

Glavin refers specifically to the operations conducted by the U.S. and Israel, dubbed Operation Epic Fury and Operation Roaring Lion, suggesting that these actions could be viewed as part of a legitimate effort to uphold justice against a regime notorious for sponsoring terrorism globally. He raises concerns about the adherence to the Geneva Conventions amidst the rhetoric coming from U.S. leadership, questioning whether the principles of international laws will be respected in the tactical execution of these operations.

The article ultimately advocates for a more aggressive stance against Iran, framing the military operations as a moral imperative rather than a legal dilemma. Glavin’s perspective challenges the dominant narrative of restraint in military engagements, arguing instead for a clear robust action to dismantle threats, which he believes is necessary to protect both Iranian citizens and international security interests.
